There can be a lot of recipes for pilaf, but the list of requirements for the finished dish will always be approximately the same.
The rice should be crumbly and aromatic, and not resemble regular porridge.
Therefore, it is important to get rid of the shortcomings associated with the preparation of this oriental dish, reminds the expert in the field of cooking of the online publication "BelNovosti" chef Yulia Arkhipova.
What mistakes are important to get rid of?
Selecting Rice
Not every type of rice is suitable for this dish. Usually the manufacturer simplifies the task and makes a special note on the product packaging. Therefore, do not miss this information.
Lack of fat
Classic pilaf is prepared not only with vegetable oil: an important component is mutton fat. As a result, the pilaf becomes fatty and aromatic to the right degree.
Lack of spices
If you study the composition of seasonings intended for pilaf, you can see many names. Real pilaf is really prepared using a large number of spices.
So don't forget to use spices.
